Homemaking—

Which Can Have a Liberal Diet|

Planning for Families

PROPER SELECTION of foods

is a problem of every homemaker.

Choice is governed by two guides: A balanced diet containing the foods

which are needed for health and to spend for food. ? ’ A high-income family niay pre

the amount the family can afford

fer to live on a moderate-cost diet

and a moderate-income family may choose a low-cost diet. Still another

may prefer the sociability of a mor The U. S. Bureau of Home Economics has worked cut some diets for various family incomes which embody all the items which should be included in meals to safeguard . the family. The liberal diet will be ' outlined in this column today and the moderate and minimum cost diets tomorrow and Friday. ; ___The bureau says that a family of " four with an income of $6000 or $5000 a year can easily afford a liberal diet. In fact a family is usually. living in comfort if for 20 per ..cent or less of its income it can . .buy a liberal supply of foods that . have variety and nutritive value. If the income .is $4000 or $3000 _ spend 22 to 27 per cent of it for . food. Families of $2000 to $2500 a year income should allot about 31 per cent for food. In families of four with only about $1000 income, about 46 per cent should go for food and more if there are children. This will necessitate sharp economies in other budget items but proper nutrition for children is important. According to the bureau a LIBERAL diet can be provided for a family at costs ranging from $8.60 per week for a family of two to $27.50 per week for a family of seven. This includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, eggs and lean meat, quantities of milk and moderate amounts of cereals, fats and sugars. Here is the bureau’s week-

e sumptuous table.

slanting rest, covered with pillows. A ladder-back chair is best suited for this purpose.

Towel Curtains

Turkish towels make attractive and suitable bathroom curtains. If your window is fairly wide, use two towels for each window, with matching washcloths for tiebacks. Run the curtain rod through the hems. They are easy to launder, need no ironing, will not appear limp from steamy showers and come in lovely patterns and colors. Economical, too, because when you are tired of them as curtains, they may always be uded for towels.

Leather Accessories

LEATHER cufflinks, in pigskin or crocodile, are new and very suitable accessories to wear with colored shirts and rough, tweedy suits. They come in a small neat bag of suede which the orderly man will find -convenient for storing other links, studs, tie clasps and such.

Care Keeps Silver Shining ALWAYS keep a jar of silver polish on the shelf near the kitchen sink to remove occasional egg stains from silver. Or rub clean with a little damp salt.
